Connect your apps and services to automate workflows, cut manual effort, and let your team focus on higher-value work. TrellisPoint implements Power Automate around the processes that are actually costing your team time today.
Connect your apps and let the repetitive work happen on its own
Microsoft Power Automate is a cloud-based service that builds automated workflows between the apps and services your team already uses. Low-code cloud flows, AI-driven document and form processing, and robotic process automation for legacy systems all live on one platform, so automation is not a different tool for every problem.
TrellisPoint implements Power Automate around the processes actually slowing your team down, then connects it to Copilot Studio and the rest of the Power Platform as automation needs grow.
AI & Cognitive Services
Process forms, recognize objects, and analyze sentiment inside a workflow instead of a separate tool.
Pre-Built Templates
Start from a template for common workflows, then customize it to fit your exact process.
Scheduled & Triggered Workflows
Run flows on a schedule or fire them off an event, like a new email or an updated record.
Power Automate Capabilities
What Power Automate lets your team do
Six capabilities that turn manual, repetitive work into something that runs on its own. Pick one to see how it plays out.
A workflow that reads a document instead of a person typing it in
AI Builder brings form processing, object recognition, and sentiment analysis directly into a flow, so a workflow can read an invoice or flag a negative review without a separate AI project.
Form processing, object recognition, and sentiment analysis built in
AI runs inside the flow, not as a bolt-on integration
Smarter, more responsive workflows without custom AI development
A workflow that starts itself the moment something happens
Scheduled flows run at set times, and triggered flows fire off a specific event, like a new email, an approval, or an updated record, so automation responds to the business instead of running on a fixed clock only.
Scheduled flows for recurring, predictable tasks
Event-triggered flows that respond the moment something changes
Pre-built templates to get a common workflow running fast
Automation built on the same security posture as the rest of Microsoft cloud
Power Automate runs on Microsoft's secure infrastructure, with data encryption, access controls, and compliance support built in, so scaling automation does not mean scaling risk alongside it.
Data encryption and role-based access controls by default
Compliance support for industry standards out of the box
Governance policies and audit logs to track what automation is doing
Information that moves between departments on its own
A workflow that starts in sales can trigger an action in finance or operations automatically, so information and approvals cross department lines without someone manually forwarding an email.
Workflows that share information and trigger actions across departments
Fewer manual handoffs between teams and systems
Better visibility into where a process actually stands
A system with no API gets automated anyway
Robotic process automation clicks, types, and reads screens the way a person would, so a legacy application with no modern integration point still gets automated instead of staying a manual step forever.
Prebuilt or custom UI actions automate systems with no API
Legacy applications get automated instead of replaced first
Exception handling and work queues keep unattended bots reliable
A flow built by describing it, not by wiring up every step
Copilot builds a flow from a plain-language description of what you want to happen, sets up the connections, and refines the result through a multi-turn conversation instead of a blank canvas.
Natural-language flow creation from a scenario description
Copilot sets up connections and parameters automatically
Multi-turn conversation to refine a flow instead of a one-shot prompt
Power Automate and AI Builder work together to put intelligence into automation, minimizing the need for manual processing.
Discover Automation Opportunities
Optimize processes and uncover business automation opportunities with task and process mining.
Automate Legacy Systems
Use robotic process automation (RPA) to automate legacy systems with prebuilt or custom user-interface actions.

What is Microsoft Power Automate?
Microsoft Power Automate is a cloud-based service that lets users create automated workflows between apps and services. It helps automate repetitive tasks, streamline business processes, and improve productivity by connecting various applications and systems.
How does Power Automate integrate with other Microsoft products?
Power Automate integrates seamlessly with Microsoft products like Office 365, Dynamics 365, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Azure. This lets you automate workflows across multiple platforms, keeping tasks and processes synchronized and efficient.
What types of tasks can be automated with Power Automate?
Power Automate can automate a wide range of tasks, including sending notifications, synchronizing files, collecting data, managing approvals, processing forms, and integrating data between systems. It handles both simple and complex workflows.
Is Power Automate suitable for non-technical users?
Yes. Power Automate is designed with a user-friendly, no-code/low-code interface that lets non-technical users, often called "citizen developers," create and manage workflows. Drag-and-drop features and pre-built templates make automation accessible to everyone.
How secure and compliant is Power Automate?
Power Automate is built on Microsoft's secure cloud infrastructure, with data encryption, role-based access controls, and compliance support for major industry standards. Organizations can also set governance policies to control data access and maintain audit logs that track workflow changes over time.
Can Power Automate be used with third-party applications?
Yes. Power Automate supports integration with a wide range of third-party applications, including Salesforce, Google services, Adobe Sign, and many others, so you can build workflows that connect and automate processes across different platforms.
Can Power Automate be accessed and managed from mobile devices?
Yes. Power Automate offers a mobile app that lets you create, monitor, and manage workflows from a phone or tablet, so automation stays manageable on the go.
What does Power Automate cost, and how is it licensed?
Power Automate is licensed a few different ways: a Per User plan for individual premium access, a Per Flow plan priced for a set of shared flows used across a department, and separate RPA plans for unattended bots. Microsoft 365 E3 and E5 already include Power Automate for standard connectors, so many organizations only need to license the premium connectors or RPA capacity they actually use. Pricing changes periodically, so we confirm current licensing during scoping rather than quoting a number here that may be out of date.
What Copilot capabilities are included in Power Automate?
Copilot builds a flow from a plain-language description of what you want automated, sets up the necessary connections, and refines the result through a multi-turn conversation rather than a blank designer canvas. Newer agent flow capabilities let Copilot evaluate data at runtime and handle exceptions with context instead of a fixed set of rules. Microsoft continues to expand where this shows up, including natural-language workflow creation coming to SharePoint.
